anybody had any contact while she was over there concerning her work or return to work?
Slaughter:
No.
Det. Sudler:
What about her progress or condition or anything...
you know...
Slaughter:
Yeah, I did check once to see if everything was
coming along okay or whatever...
Det. Sudler:
When was that?
Slaughter:
13mm. . I I don’t know. Again.. .maybe after a
week or so. I can’t really remember because by that point I was into construction on the site. And this was a.. . .like. . .1 mean you’re talking a $100,000 project.. .you know. This is not a small project. So to be very frank with you, that period of time is a little fuzzy just from that viewpoint.
Det. Sudler:
Okay.
Slaughter:
So I can’t.. .1 can’t really recall.
Det. Sudler:
Airight.
Det. Jewett:
Who did you talk to when you called to check on her?
Slaughter:
Umm. . .Judy. And I don’t know Judy’s last name.
Det. Jewett:
What did she say?
Slaughter:
She said things were coming along and she was doing
better and that was about it.
Det. Jewett:
Did Judy tell you what kind of treatment she was
getting to help her. . .you know... . just counseling or any medication or what was wrong or anything like that?
Slaughter:
No, but I didn’t ask either. So.. .1 mea’n...
Det. Jewett:
Did you ask to speak to her?
Slaughter:
Uh Uh. No. You know.. .in a situation like that...
to me it would seem rest and relaxation and quiet is the thing that.. .you know.. .a person would want if they’re. .you know. . .distressed or whatever. At least
